Vice president ial candidates mike pence and couple of horace hof now battled it out in the debate that restored some dignity to the u. S. Election process its a contrast to last weeks a bruising affair between donald trump and joe biden but did they shift the needle of Public Opinion in their guys favor im phil gale in berlin and this is the day. Very. Minimal. And i believe. All of that. Russian backed government. Because. Both seem to keep it. As both president ial candidates are in their seventys. From the presidency has increased. Abortion ministrations response of course. After the recent chaotic president ial debate. And much more. The 2 candidates seated at a safe distance divided by plexiglass barriers in the 1st and only Vice President ial debate. We need to. Just one of many issues of good. Tension between mike pence and Camila Harris the American People have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president ial administration in the history of our country undermining the pens who hits President Trumps corona pandemic taskforce on excel went on the defensive from the very 1st day President Donald Trump has put the health of america 1st before there were more than 5 cases in the United States all people who had returned from china President Donald Trump do but no other american president had ever done whatever the Vice President would depend demick still affecting millions of americans leaving many worried about keeping their Health Care Coverage harris went straight on the attack if you have a preexisting condition Heart Disease diabetes Breast Cancer their common feel if you love someone who has a preexisting has it thank you they dont say how many are you if the vaccine ends his response avoided specifics obamacare was a disaster for the American People remember well President Trump and i have a plan to improve health care and to preserve protect preexisting conditions for every american and heres the abortion also came up as always an important factor in american elections were informed. Im prolife i dont apologize for. And this is another one of those cases where theres such a dramatic contrast Joe Biden Kamel Harris support taxpayer funding of abortion all the way up to the moment of birth late term abortion they want to increase funding to planned parenthood of america issues before us can be more serious there is the issue of choice and i will always fight for a womans right to make a decision about her own body it should be her decision and not that of donald trump and and the Vice President michael pence though most viewings of the debate to place virtually at home some locations host a small viewing parties like this one in cincinnati. Well i think it was a lot more like a debate than the previous recent president ial that be a lot more like what normally happens. When i was pleasantly surprised to see more civility in this debate than the previous president ial debate. Its unclear how much these mice president ial debate will change the dynamics of the president ial race. Well lets get more on this from conservative political commentator david froome hes a Senior Editor at the atlantic was a speechwriter for republican president george w. Bush welcome to w. What do you think it did either candidate managed to shift the needle of Public Opinion that needle of Public Opinion has been slowly moving through the month of october as the Economic News gets worse as the disease news gets worse President Trump is sinking and sinking sinking below his 4040 percent threshold i think we are on the way to a white epic result in the election of 120. Ok thats thats quite clear come on harriss condemnation of the trump administrations Coronavirus Response has got a lot of people talking so lets take a little listen. Well the American People have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president ial administration in the history of our country and here are the facts 210000 dead people in our country in just the last several months over 7000000 people who have contracted this disease one in 5 businesses closed on january 28th the Vice President and the president more informed about the nature of this pandemic they were informed that its lethal in consequence that it is airborne that it will affect young people and that it would be contract it because it is airborne and they knew what was happening and they didnt tell you. That it froome there was nothing new in that but it is interesting to have it all sort of put in one place to how damaging do you think that accusation from that come last was. Sometimes there is a tent city to exaggerate the importance of campaigns in messaging people watch this debate watch this debate from home they watched with their children at home they watched it out of work they watched it with businesses that are close they watched it knowing that their loved ones are sick made or have been sick in fear of sickness themselves they watch it knowing that the president is sick they saw a Vice President who did not look well they know the chairman of the joint chiefs are all quarantining its not a matter of what you say its sort of what is true and what is true is the country is in desperate trouble and that is not just our country but all around the world and that is i think the reason why you see this this collapse in the president s support so what does he need to do then what needs to happen for the president to close that gap. By. I think he needs to build a time machine and go back in time and completely alter not only his response to this disease but i mean its her im being silly but look you cant you cant its done the consequences of this catastrophe are upon us and i think one of the things that the president s been struggling with and the reason is his is twitter behavior and other behavior so radek is because he realizes that theres nothing to do at this point the record is the record the suffering is the suffering the economic the disease results are what they are there isnt some formula of magic words i used to write speeches for president george w. Bush and one of these politicians sometimes believe not george w. Bush many of them is theres some theres a magic formula theres something you can say they can change peoples experience but actually people vote on is the base of what is happening to them every human being is the worlds leading expert on the life of that human being and they know where they are they know their children are not in school they know theyre out of work they know theyre sick or fraid of becoming sick. I still have a look at quite an Interesting Exchange that i had on rice last week the president of the United States took a debate stage in front of 70000000 americans and refused to condemn White Supremacists and. It wasnt like he didnt have a chance he didnt do it and then he doubled down and then he said when pressed them. Stand by senator harris conveniently omitted have to after the president made comments about people on either side of the debate over monuments he condemned the k. K. K. Neo nazis and White Supremacists and has done so repeatedly youre concerned that he doesnt condemn neo nazis present trump has jewish grandchildren his daughter and son in law are jewish. This is a president who who respects and shares all of the American People i mean for what why do you think donald trump cant seem to shake this perception that his arrest. Well there are some subjective realities is also very personal reality which is dont trump cannot accept any kind of criticism so he makes an initial misstep even if its innocent and it usually isnt but even if it is he cant fix because fixing a misstep would be would be too it would require him to acknowledge a misstep but its also true that the president he draws strength from some dark places in American Life and hes not willing to stand up against them because he views the world only through one prism are you for me or against me he is not he is indifferent any other moral standard is only for you for him or against him so if you are an e. O. Nazi whos against donald trump and hes against you if youre a neo nazi who is for donald trump and he finds it hard to be against you its interesting that listening to your talk a man who has written for who has written speeches for a republican president. When you when youre talking about the current republican president here in your same aghast i buy have spent 4 years writing about this look we my party the Republican Party is a shattered party and it is important to understand how many republicans are opposed to President Trump the democrats one. More than 60 seats in the election of of of 2020 or 2800 and they won them in the areas will republicans have historically been strongest the seat that was held by george h. W. Bush back in the 1960 s. In that state republican from 1966 until 2018 thats now democratic seat Newt Gingrichs former seat in the suburbs of atlanta thats now a democratic seat the seat of eric cantor whos the number 2 republican in the house of representatives under president obama but thats now a democratic seat what we have seen is a rebellion of many of the traditional republican heartlands against the presence of donald trump ok back to they visit by the pens vs horace was a much more dignified a fat than trump biden last week but there was still the interrupting issue well take a listen you will not raise taxes on anybody you make less than 400000 to hear people the trump tax cuts mr Vice President speaking well im speaking be important to you so the truth is the only going to repeal part of the trump talks because if you dont mind letting me finish we can have a conversation ok police ok in 861 id like you to answer the question this vice presidency taking speaking. Yeah lets talk about packing the court then lets talk about yeah im about to. According to c. B. S. News mike pence interrupted the hottest 10 times to 5 interruptions and b c has it 16 times to not i was mike pence being sexist or just rude. Look my parents compared to dont trump is a psychologically normal human being is a can very conventional american conservative politician and and his career is on the line so hes hes under some pressure i think it was also evident and this is not something we that the norms of our contrition journalism allows to come and it was also evident that there was something i mean and well about him he was not in good shape he was very pale his eyes were pink he had a canker in the corners mouth and so he may not have been in top form he was trying to bring some level of assertion because after all he is side is his is side of the debate is losing the trump and pence ticket is anywhere from depending on whos counting 6. 00 to 8. 00 to 10. 00 or more points behind so there is a certain not a psychological pressure under under him so he tried to do what he could do and he is is aware that theres an audience President Trump me has to keep happy who insists on the most aggressive possible response to any challenge especially want from a woman good talking to its very interesting david frum from the atlantic thank you thank you. And the german capital berlin has been declared a coronavirus hotspot after the number of cases in the city passed a critical threshold for the introduction of tougher restrictions germanys Disease Control agency the robert costa institute is warning about the spread of the coronavirus would become uncontrollable if people dont stick to hygiene distancing rules german chancellor Angela Merkel says she doesnt want a repeat of what happened in spring when europes largest economy went into lockdown. More than a foot has a new infections in the past day thats germanys highest rate since april when the kountry was today knocked down has mr yen span want of growing complacency and a population and called for responsible behavior the next 6w8xw people cooperate the chances of the virus spreading will drop dramatically like that is the good that this pandemic is or so a character test for us as a society and we can only pass if we pull together. In recent days authorities have tightened restrictions in high risk areas such as the capital beilin from saturday on words a curfew will be imposed on bars and restaurants as germany braces for soaring cases but according to the account trees leading vajrayana g. s rest trick sions alone one suffice it is not sufficient to impose rules that people dont understand them so the cooperation of the population especially in the coming weeks and months to. Go over the autumn and winter. Is probably one of the most important functions in the whole concept to intervene. With full School Holidays about to begin the government has called on citizens to avoid travel abroad most of germanys 16 states have also agreed to abandon overnight stays at hotels for visitors from high risk areas in a bid to curb the surge of new infections. And its been 5 years since russia entered the war in syria in support of president bashar assad tipping the balance in favor of the regime assad forces assisted by russia and iran now control most of the country Kurdish Forces still hold the northeast but have signed a deal with the sad it lip in the northwest is the last remaining province under rebel control with turkeys support as a ceasefire for. Came into effect in march this year government and russian airstrikes are increasing again and many and fear a decisive battle for the province a could start soon. Reports. Even when hes making t. Plane spotters. Focuses on the job not 2 missing a military plane taking off from the bases controlled by the assad regime. The 41 year old has set up a mini listening station to follow syrian and Russian Radio Communications at a secret location for security reasons along with other volunteers he monitors all air traffic over you clip around the clock. Just as the most we can listen into the pilots Radio Communications and find out his destination so we know where the bombs might fall of to look i do this work for civilians if we can warn them we can save lives. As soon as he spots anything zain warrants local civilians hospital sent 1st responders using radio and other networks. He says the number of air raids on eclipse has risen significantly in recent weeks although the ceasefire agreement is still in effect. On hold my biggest fear is that the Russian Air Force will bomb adlib city because it is so densely populated. In recent weeks the bombs sometimes more than 20 a day have mainly targeted less Populated Areas but theres growing concern that assad and his forces are set to launch a new offensive also targeting hospitals sense schools in a similar way to the beginning of the year when attacks flattened the small town of kufa. Many families have since returned home but holiday khalid from the local council has no idea. Housing will survive the coming winter Water Supplies hospitals electricity generators have all be destroyed and covered 19 infections are on the rights. And. We cant quarantine people to protect them from the corona virus. So theyve got to work to feed their families we would need support from relief agencies in our town but no one has shown up and even the. Hundreds of thousands of people have sought refuge in the sprawling campus of northern euclid province here 2 conditions are palling but theres at least some support from relief organizations. Hamas mature man is among those who desperately need that support a year ago his house was destroyed in their right one of his sons was killed achmet lost both legs hes grateful for the 10 they were given but hes anxious about the winter that lies ahead. So right away and im disabled and i cant walk at all. Weve got no income nothing at all.
